Hi,
I can understand your concern. As per your query about causes of difficulty in breathing with cough signifies that lungs are involved which can be bronchitis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. I advise you to consult a pulmonologist. Investigation like chest x-ray and blood count can be needed to reach a diagnosis.
I hope this information helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Jyoti Pandey
